Some people look at other people smoking and drinking and say, they are going to hell, "Oh, look, they're sinning. How can they ever be saved? How can they ever be filled with the Holy Spirit?" Then they themselves go out and cuss in their minds, commit adultery in their minds, and think all kinds of awful, hateful things. That's just as much sin.
I heard a preacher say, "If you're going to sin, go ahead and sin BIG." Sin is sin.
If you don't quit sinning and start doing what God says, you're not going to get very far. It wasn't God's will for the children of Israel to go into captivity. They brought it on their own heads because they sinned. They played games with God. They said they'd follow the laws of God, but they didn't. They even began to worship false gods. God doesn't like people to play games with Him. God doesn't like cheap talk. God wants to see action!
Sin is sin. There is nothing like small sin and big sin. Sin causes repercussions. If you go out and sin and still carry the name of God, the sin will be found out. There will be a reproach on your life and upon the Church of Jesus Christ. When you stand before Almighty God and He asks you why, you won't have any excuse!
God might look at you and say, "Why did you do that?" If you reply, "I just wanted to try it out," He'll say, "Not good enough!" He'll say, "I told you not to." You'll reply, "I was in the flesh!" God will say, "Who cares? Didn't I give you power? Didn't I give you authority? Didn't I give you an individual will?" We will answer on our own.
LET NOT SIN THEREFORE REIGN IN YOUR MORTAL BODIES.
